this is the light phone the phone that's designed to be intentionally simple I tried using it for 30 days to see if it could replace my smartphone there are just three apps we have phone we have alarm we have settings I tested out phone calls and they worked fine hey how are you but texting was it turns out they actually have more apps available to download online now to see if they actually work in practice starting with directions okay I missed that turn okay it's recalculating now the results weren't great stressful I had better success with other apps like podcasts voice memos and hotspot but they tend to drain the battery really fast so I'm nearly finished with this 30 day experiment and if I'm being completely honest I cannot wait to get back to a smartphone over the past 30 days I spent much less time in front of a screen but the phone is just too dumb for me to switch over full time so it's back to a smartphone for me
